Rab

Mountain Sunset.

The Rab story began in 1981 in a small attic in Sheffield where Rab Carrington made the first sleeping bag to bear his name. His goal was simple: to make rugged kit that performed at the highest level. Every piece was handmade and rigorously tested against the most extreme conditions.

Today, Rab are ceaseless in their commitment to their founder’s exacting standards, ingenuity, and pioneering spirit. They make rugged, high-performance clothing and equipment that give you absolute protection, comfort and freedom in the mountains. They use cutting-edge materials as well as time-tested ones, such as premium quality European down, to craft honest, hard-working kit that you’d rather repair than replace.
